Bella Figura by Kamin Mohammadi

Bella Figura by Kamin Mohammadi

One woman's story of finding beauty, and herself--and a practical guide to living a better life, the Italian way

Kamin Mohammadi, a magazine editor in London, should have been on top of the world. But after heartbreak and loneliness, the stress of her dream life was ruining her physical and mental health. Gifted a ticket to freedom--a redundancy package and the offer of a friend's apartment in Florence--Kamin took a giant leap. It did not take her long to notice how differently her new Italian neighbors approached life: enjoying themselves, taking their time to eat and drink, taking their lives at a deliberately slower pace. Filled with wonderful characters--from the local bartender/barista who becomes her love adviser, to the plumbers who fix her heating and teach her to make pasta al pomodoro--here is a mantra for savoring the beauty and color of every day that Italians have followed for generations, a guide to the slow life for busy people, a story of finding love (and self-love) in unlikely places, and an evocative account of a year living an Italian life.

Kamin Mohammadi was born in Iran in 1969 and was exiled to the United Kingdom in 1979. She is a journalist, travel writer, and broadcaster whose work has appeared in the British and international press, including The Times, Financial Times, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, and The Guardian. She lives outside Florence and in London. www.kamin.co.uk
